For our March block we’re making scrappy triangles! This is a good scrap buster and a really easy and flexible block.
The block uses a string quilt piecing technique—fabric strings (strips of various widths) are sewn together and then cut into the desired triangle shape. Add fabric to both sides, trim to 6.5” x 9”, and you’re done!
Follow Film in the Fridge’s tutorial to make your block(s) using the following guidelines:
— Make the center triangle as scrappy as possible, using modern fabrics of course.
— Use 4–6 strips for each triangle. The more variation the better!
— Background should be light or pale blue, using solids or reads-as-solid fabric.
— Use the measurements provided in the tutorial to create a 6.5” x 9” block.
As a reminder, these blocks will be turned in at the April meeting and the lotto is open only to current, paid members.
